i am definitely the dumpee, she wanted space and time away from me. i'm glad i am in a good situation right now, i just dont wanna lose her. she's real special to me

so i took the advice of you guys who followed up my post (thanks again) and i havent broken all contact with her but it is very rare and she is initiating it most of the time (i asked her a few questions, nothing about the relationship or anything) but what it seems like now is that she is getting a little territorial. she keeps asking me what i've been doing and if i wanna talk with her and stuff and i dunno if i should take this as a good sign or not. i want her back but after breaking up i want my own space and time for me to find myself and not live my life entirely for her and such. i've havent been telling her what i exactly did and stuff either, i'm keeping my answers very general. i dont think it matters if she knows what i am doing. i still love her and i want to get back together eventually but i'm not sure how i should approach her acting territorial. so i guess what answers i am looking for are 1) should i take her acting like this as a good sign 2) should i keep dealing with it how i am and 3) if i act too non caring will she most likely not want to be with me again?

My girlfriend of 18 months broke up with me about a week ago. She said that she needs time and space to figure out how she feels and that she just wants to be friends for now. Well we had something like this happen before and she went away for a few days and came back and everything was good but this time it feels a lot different. I'm trying very hard to give her the space she wants but it's hard to not talk to her and stuff. She said she misses me sometimes and there is a channce her and I will get back together but I dont know how i should go about giving her the space she wants. I IM her still and call her once and a while and she said that that is fine but I get the feeling she only talks to me to be nice. I decided to leave for the summer because it will be easier for me to give her the space she wants being almost 1000 miles away rather than four. I just dont know what i should do. People keep telling me to ignore her and what not and I have been trying to but I really want to be with her again and I'm afraid that if I ignore her she'll think I dont care and she wont want to try again, and I cant have that. She said she isnt looking to get involved in another relationship but she cant promise she wont. So anyone out there that has gone through this (I'm sure there are many of you) can you please tell me what it is that i should and should not do given my situation? any help would be highly appreciated. I just cant lose her.
